Don't Make Me Slap You!
My latest Q & A Video!
Watch my parodies too!»
The first (now annual) VidCon took place in LA and it was an amazing experience! I had an great time meeting all kinds of top YouTubers and YouTube staff. It was an unprecedented opportunity to talk to people who have hundreds of thousands of subscribers (or more) and who make an incredible living from putting videos on YouTube, as well as a very rare chance to hear from YouTube employees and ask them questions.
There were sessions throughout the day covering everything from how to create better content to how to make more profit as well as a number of interviews and performances on the main stage. My only complaint was that there wasn’t any YouTube merchandise to buy, which I thought was a big mistake on YouTube’s part since there were about 1500 people there, and most of us wanted to buy stuff!
I put together a short recap of some of the best moments from VidCon in the video below, and I’ll be sharing what I learned in upcoming blog posts!
Did you go to VidCon? Do you plan to go next year?

Hey Josh,
I didn’t go this year, but was really on the fence about this one. I, like you, thought it would be a great opportunity to got out and meet like minded people. What a fanastic chance.
I look forward to seeing your post about what you learned.
I really wanted to go, but didn’t get the chance. Seems like such a fun experience, and a great way to make some friends! Nice post.
